The cursed lineage of Uganda's mythological first man parallels the African nation's history in this epic debut novel from the nascent Transit Books press. Spanning centuries and centering on the collision of tradition and modernity, KINTU is destined to become a contemporary classic of world literature. Stellar!
Have you ever begun a book and immediately felt you were in the hands of a classic? That's what Magda Szabo's THE DOOR is like. THE DOOR has the simplest premise, but the moral complexity of a great tragedy. Magda, a successful author, decides to hire Emerence, a peasant housekeeper well known in the village. What follows is a psychological portrait of two very different women over a period of decades, replete with the passions and barbs inherent in complex friendships. Beautifully translated from the Hungarian by Len Rix, THE DOOR will leave you speechless with admiration.
Imagine if THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy were pre-apocalyptic. CENSUS is a beautiful tale about a father's unconditional love for his son and his fears of letting him go.
TRUFFLEPIG is pure, psychedelic, Tex-Mex mythos. Flores wrote the novel in a 3-month fever dream, hammered out on a mechanical typewriter in late 2014. Five years later, Flores' parallel universe contains insight on the border that feels eerily prophetic. Listen to the 9-song Spotify platlist that accompanies the novel! (Search for: The Trufflepig on Spotify).
Blackwood is a mythical vine entangling the reader before they know what's hit them. This Southern Gothic novel explores the weight of community, legacy, and justice, all inextricably tied to the deep, rural South. Smith is a master story teller, plotting twists and revelations though every moment.
